No Statement
I was recently involved in an accident, and both the police and my insurance have confirmed that I was clearly not at fault. I’ve been cooperating with both my insurance and the other driver’s insurance. However, it’s been over a week and a half, and the other insurance company still hasn’t received a statement from their client. Is this normal? Are there any laws that prevent someone from refusing to provide a statement?
I’m really sorry to hear about your accident, but it’s good to know that the police and your insurance confirmed you weren’t at fault. It’s not uncommon for insurance claims to get delayed, especially if the other party is uncooperative or slow to respond.
While there’s no specific law that forces individuals to provide a statement, most insurance companies have their own policies and timelines for handling claims. If the other person’s insurance is struggling to get a statement from their client, it can definitely slow down the process.
You might want to follow up with your insurance agent to see if there’s anything they can do on their end or to check if there are alternative actions you can take. Sometimes, the threat of legal action can motivate the other party to cooperate as well. Hang in there!
